Did you love him as he died on the cross
Did you learn the meaning, end or cause
On and on you know I hear it said
Only listening when you are dead
No recognition for a shining jewel
Why do men have to be so cruel
It won't be the first, it won't be the last
In the future and in the past

No excuses for mistake
Always someone left to foresake

Chorus:
Love me when I'm dead
Love me when I'm dead
Love me when I'm dead
Love me when I'm dead

No avow for the sublime
It will be that way 'till the end of time
Each and all there's instilled some good
Little or nothing's left understood
Criticizing all that is true
Just going on what you thought you knew
It won't be the first, it won't be the last
In the future and in the past

-Chorus-

That's the way it's going to be
It's me and you to make history
In the future in the past
Won't be the first, Won't be the last

-Chorus-
